slime-repl on CMUCL 18e doesn't work with expressions consisting of
more than ~450 characters. I followed a hint of Helmut on cmucl-imp,
and set the last parameter of the call to system:read-n-bytes in
lisp::read-into-simple-string to t. That seems to fix the problem with
mp::startup-idle-and-top-level-loops called from cmucl-init.
